Head of Christ
1639
From the collection of Statens Museum for Kunst
Head of Christ is a 1639 by Unknown, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
This is a close-up black-and-white photo of a face with a beard and long hair. The person’s eyes are open but look tired, and their hands are resting on their chin. The background is dark, making the face stand out sharply. The photo looks like it was taken from a painting, not a real person. The lighting is strong on the face, creating deep shadows and bright spots. Check out chiaroscuro to see how artists use light and dark like this.
